TOPIC

    I cannot disable the Startup page on my Apple Color LaserWriter with the Apple Printer Utility. Each time I reboot the printer a Startup page prints.

    Also when I relaunch the Apple Printer Utility the print startup page option is checked again.

DISCUSSION

    The Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 or 12/660 will print a Startup page when powered on whenever the Configuration Switch is in the "factory default" or "standard settings" position, that is, the switch is positioned to the left.

    If you do not want a Startup page to print when the printer is powered on, place the Configuration Switch in the customize location, to the right, then via the Apple Printer Utility uncheck the checkbox for "Print a startup page each time the printer is turned on."

    Note: When you try with the Apple Printer Utility to disable the Startup page, when the switch is in the factory default position, this dialog is displayed:

    Warning:
    Some settings will not be saved on the next power cycle. (See switch position)

    If you receive this message, place the Configuration Switch in the customize position, sometime before restarting the printer, to not print the startup page.
